Did you catch us on Discover Lafayette? How about in the Advocate?

Baton Rouge Underground’s own Jenika Kolacz and Kelly Swift were featured on the Louisiana local podcast Discover Lafayette, along side Southern Screens own Julie Bordelon. The creatives chatted about the film industry in Louisiana and what is to come from both festivals.

We are so excited to see you this fall!
